Correct answer is (b) above the ground level

Easiest explanation: A well excavated through confined aquifer yields water that often flows out automatically under the hydrostatic pressure. It may even rise or gush out of the surface for a reasonable height. Flowing well is a type of artesian well where water gushes out automatically.
